Hey guys

Just changed my clutch master cylinder on my r32 to a r33 master because i needed a shorter one for my engine set up.

Running a rb20det gearbox and slave cylinder.

I have bleed the lines and i now dont have enough travel in my slave to disengage my clutch.

Do i need to match the r33 master with a r33 slave??? or did i just stuff something up when i put the motor and gearbox in!

Did you adjust the master pushrod?

The master you have on it should work. You have not set it up correctly

As in the thread on the fork where it connects to the clutch pedal? i wound it all the way out so it would connect onto the clutch pedal.

Sorry newb at this I haven't done any of this kind of work on clutches befor, want to sort it myself

Yes the thread on the rod that goes through the fork that attaches to the clutch pedal. If you haven't gone far enough, then it will be wrong.....if you went too far, then it will be wrong.

There is really no way to describe how to adjust it correctly (well there is but I'm not going to type an essay here as there's too much information)

What I can tell you is if the pedal feels like there is nothing there until the very bottom then you need to wind the rod out of the fork more. Or if the pedal feels like it has pressure from the very top but it still doesn't disengage the clutch then you have gone too far and are blocking the recovery port inside the master cylinder so it doesn't work how it should.

Learning is fun aint it. ;)

Cheers mate got it sorted just kept bleeding and eventually got it yeehaar! Dosen't feel the same but at least it works. the clutch i got is really heavy so i guess its a struggle for it, its a OGR brass clutch, there a prety crazy clutch

Now i have another prob just took it for its first spin with another motor in and something went pop when under first boost and now the revs wont drop below 3000rpm! guess i'll have to put another post up!!

Thanks for your reply buddy

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
